Pecan Pie In A Mug

I am not a big “pie” person. I’d rather have cake but if I do eat pie, it’s gonna be pecan. That is my absolute favorite. I like the regular old fashion kind. Some people make chocolate pecan pie which is good but the original is still better. 

Cheese cake is my 2nd favorite kind of pie. And yes, I consider cheese cake a pie. It has a crust bottom and eaten like pie. SO, it’s pie. 

The other day I was craving something sweet and realized I had all the ingredients to make a pecan pie but did not want to make a whole pie. That’s when I went on a search for a single serve size. 

This recipe calls for honey instead of Karo Syrup but it did not disappoint. It was delicious and only a couple minutes to throw together and cooked in the microwave. It don’t get any easier than that. 

The recipe can be found HERE.

I used to love to eat those little Bama brand pecan pies from the convenient stores. I still do but I try not to give in. 

Momma made pecan pies for Thanksgiving and I’m sure there will be one on the table at Christmas. She makes the best.

What is you favorite kind of pie?

Handmade Christmas Ornaments

I have a little Christmas tree in my work cubicle and needed some ornaments for it. My cubicle theme is mostly boho so I wanted something that would fit in with that style. That’s when I seen this pattern for tiny boho macramé ornaments. I had to give it try. 

I love how they turned out and they fit my theme perfectly. They are now hanging on my little tree along with the little gnome ornaments I purchased from Walmart. 

I have not done any crochet lately. In fact, I even closed my Etsy store. Because I was tired of making things and they never sold or if they did sell it was mostly people asking for another color other than what I already had made. I was just getting tired of meeting demands. When it becomes work, It’s not fun anymore. I also have not sold enough this year to cover the fees. So I gave it up. 

The other night I decided to pick up the crochet hook and create a couple little gnome ornaments for my tree at home. I made two. 

They were very easy to make and you can find the pattern HERE. 

It’s fun to crochet small things. Theses ornaments were fun to make and only took about 30 minutes to complete each one. They do not really go with my colors but they still look oddly good on the tree.

Do you use a theme at Christmas?

My theme at home is buffalo plaids and touches of red throughout.
